Ever Got The Words Wrong?

Ever got the words wrong?

We're all guilty of howling along to our favourite hit songs - but how many of the lyrics do we actually get right?

Ever proudly belted out your favourite hit in public only to find out you had unknowingly butchered the lyrics? Tell us all about it! Here's a few of our favourite lyric stuff-ups to get you started.

"Gay pair of guys put up a parking lot"Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi

"I don't understand the point of fingers"Eskimo Joe - Black Fingernails, Red Wine

"We're courting a trout/ I can't walk out"Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds

"I'm blue and I'm in need of a diet"Eiffel 65 - Blue

"Portaloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to"Abba - Waterloo

"Every time you go away/ You take a piece of meat with you"Paul Young - Every Time You Go Away

Tell us about a hit song you have murdered by singing the wrong lyrics!

Ok..this isnt as you asked but i think its funny in any case.

At School we had to sing 'Away in a manger' at Christmas. For years I sang "The Kettle-a blowing, the baby awakes" instead of 'The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes". I thought Mary was boiling the kettle and the whistle woke him up.

A friend also confessed to getting the same hymm wrong too by singing "A waine in a manger" (waine, being Scottish slang for baby). :o

Kim Wilde - 'Never trust a stranger with your harp'

George Michael - ''Careless Wispa' (Wispa is a type of choclate bar)

Its a long way to the cross if you wanna f*@k a mole. Its a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll - ac/dc.

cheap wine and a free bag of dope. cheap wine - cold chisel.

Dear friend of mine, Japanese married to American ex serviceman, moved to US...had 4 grown kids...one Sunday morning the church was singing 'Aint it grand to be a Christian, ain't it grand...and she belted out top of her voice. " Amy Grant to be a Christian Amy Grant..." all the while thinking, "this so weird...why these people sing to Amy Grant?"

Years ago, a friend blurted this one out and gave us a good laugh:

"I don't wanna to be your pizza burning". Of course, he was screwing up the Rolling Stones' lyrics, "I don't wanna be your beast of burden"

ABBA ,take your teeth out ! (chekateta ) or similar

Another (cleaner) version of the AC/DC song is: "It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll"

:D
